Iacopo Nesi GuitarsLogo Design Contest

Hello designers, I apologize for not having been active in commenting and ranking. I have had time to think over all your entries and I thank you for submitting them. I have realized that what I want to see is a designs that works as a standalone and that doesn't incorporate my name. A good example of this are #96, #97, #98, #73, #78. This type of approach makes the logo an identifiable and usable element in all my media and as an inlay on the headstock of my guitars. This revised approach is reflected in the new ranking.
I still think that there are many exceptional designs that can be modified to achieve the brief's goal.
Thank you very much for all your continuing effort, please keep it up until the end of this contest.
Good luck to all of you,
IN.

Hello designers,
Once again thanks for your entries. To give everyone a chance to re-work and create in the new direction I mentioned in the previous message, I have extended the contest a further 5 days. I would be delighted to see more designs as diverse and as interesting as the ones so far. To be clear once more the new direction is to create a logo where there are 2 separate elements: 1. My name (Iacopo Nesi Guitars), and 2. A standalone mark/symbol/drawing that incorporates the message as per brief. So far #98 is the one design that best captures this concept.
Thank you,
IN.

Hello,
I feel must apologize to the LT Community. Not for the fact that my contest has sparked a dispute, but for not realizing this myself and not acting accordingly, please accept my apologies.
I guess this is inevitable sometimes as the LT environment replicates the practices found in the open market. Fortunately, LT works so well because the same professionals that make the community also monitor it. Once again, I am extremely sorry to see this happening, but at the same time I feel honored that my contest has attracted so much refined talent. You make it very difficult to choose, and for this...
...Thank you all very much!
IN.

Dear Designers,
Thank you for the amazing work you have done for this contest. I will now take what's left of the time to make my final decision, so bear with me please.
Cheers,

Iacopo Nesi

I think all designers appreciate you took the time to rank so many entries which give them valuable points in return.
Good luck in choosing your winner!

Dear Designers,
I find it very difficult to make a decision on a normal occasion, in this contest finale I was constantly changing my mind, you all made it so with your exuberant talent. In the end I choose the one design that captured best all the ideas I wanted for my logo and that were outlined in the brief. It has been good fun with a bit of drama as well. I am a very happy and proud customer and I deeply respect all of the LT community. LT is a vibrant, instant-pleasure, and wonderful thing.... and it works! Please keep it that way. To this end, I would like to add that if bad feelings arose amongst designers on account of my contest, I wish you would bury the hatchet and make up. I may sound corny in saying the latter, but I truly mean it.
With this my contest is really over... and out!

Best wishes for all your future endeavors to all the participants.
Thank you all.

Iacopo Nesi
